The program

What is stem cell weight management?

Sustainable weight change involves metabolism, inflammation, hormones, sleep and stress. This program uses stem cell–based adjunct therapy alongside targeted IVs, nutrition and training strategy, and behaviour coaching to help improve insulin sensitivity, calm low-grade inflammation and support mitochondrial energy.

It builds on Metabolic Health Optimization, and for some patients on hormone balance support.
